How fast did airplanes go in ww1?

Basically they flew between 80 and 120 miles per hour as top speeds. This varied with the design, amount of drag in the design and the engine used. As the war progressed so did the technology of the aircraft. At the on set of the war and as planes started to be used their top speeds were around 80 mph for fighters such as the Neuport 11 and Fokker Eindecker. Observer/bomber aircraft were slower due to size and payloads. At the end of the war, aircraft such as the Spad XIII and Fokekr D.VII had top speeds of around 120 mph, both were fighter aircraft with inline water cooled engines where as the Neuport 11 and Fokker Eindecker had rotorary engines with less horsepower. Drag is what holds the plane back and in WWI drag was associated with the rigging wires used to strengthen the wings.

At what speed of aircraft the overspeed alarm will blow in the aircraft?

The overspeed alarm in an aircraft is typically set to sound when the aircraft exceeds its maximum designed airspeed limits, which can vary depending on the specific aircraft model and configuration. These limits are known as the aircraft's Maximum Indicated Airspeed (VMO) and Maximum Mach Number (MMO). When these limits are exceeded, the overspeed alarm will be triggered to alert the flight crew to take corrective action.

How does aircraft benefit the military?

An aircraft can benefit a military by preforming reconaissance. After the enemy figured that they could do the same thing, there were two guys in the air. Later, the reconaissance planes started shooting at each other. Some guy later figured that having a plane dedicated to destroying reconaissance planes would be nice to have, so he designed the first fighter. Later, some other aircraft freak decided to build some big airplane to lug mail and people and cargo around. Somebody later developed helicopters and used them as giant lugs to pull around cargo and have some designed to blast the enemy's tanks.
